MARLENE MCKIBBIN MAKER

Marlene McKibbin in her studio, London, 2014

MARLENE MCKIBBIN MAKER 3 September - 1st October 2014 The Scottish Gallery is delighted to present a showcase of new work by Marlene McKibbin, who specialises in making wearable jewellery in non precious and mixed materials.

Originally from Northern Ireland, Marlene lives and works in London and has been running her jewellery studio for over 30 years. Public collections include the Victoria & Albert Museum, National Museums Scotland and Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museum.

‘I make small adjustments, fine lines of decisions along the rhythmic course of a piece to achieve a simple solution. Open display is my preference, allowing the viewer the chance to engage with the tactile quality and weight of the material.’

Marlene McKibbin, 2014

MARLENE MCKIBBIN Born 1953, Northern Ireland I have been making jewellery for over three decades, using many different materials. My main body of work has been in acrylic, and in the last fifteen years stainless steel and gold. I like simple structures which illustrate the finer qualities of the material.
